  Speaker 1: It's Friday, so we're always a little looser on a Friday.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Perfect time to bring on our guy, Pete Fairbanks first
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: off and graft another season. You get through, Pete, and
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: great to have you on. But I'm actually gonna throw
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: a curveball at you right from the start here. I
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: don't know if you have any plans to be a
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: baseball personality or broadcaster in the future, but we're going
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: to put you to the test right now if you like,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: and get your analysis on the postseason so far and
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: on the Yankees Blue Jays matchup coming up, since you've
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: seen those teams a few times.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, man, that's usually I would hopefully be able
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: to do a little more research than you guys put
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: me on the spot here. I've loved it so far.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: I've been you know, I've been back at my parents'
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: house for a couple of days, getting my off season
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: all in a row, so I've actually been able to
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: watch a lot of it. Yeah, it's and we've had
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: four three game three three game threes, I think, yep,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: And you know, none of them, well, I guess kind of.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: The Detroit Cleveland was a little high scoring, but you
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: gotta love you gotta love the three and under ball
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: games with with how some of the guys have been
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: throwing the ball, especially old I'm not gonna say his
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: last name for it, I'll probably accidentally curse. We'll call
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: them camp for for me not having any any slips.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: But that was a fun outing to watch the man
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: through the baseball with some authority.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: You've seen the Yankees a lot, You've seen the Blue
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Jays a lot. They're very different teams from what you
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: remember facing both of them this year. You can go
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: one by one, whichever one you want first. What would
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: be your scouting report on what you remember from facing
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: those two teams or even just playing them? Right, Not
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: not that you necessarily got through everyone in the lineup,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: but what do you think about those two in a
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: matchup like this coming up?
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I liked I liked it. It's a little contrasting, right,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: you got a high contact Blue Jay's right, you got
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: a lot of guys that are that are US contact
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: and you know New York they're going to hit homers, right,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: So I mean, I think if Toronto strings it together
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: like they're capable of, like they certainly did against us
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: too in the year, they're They're a formidable ball club.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I'm excited to see, you know, if you can, if
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: you can keep the Yankees in the yard. I mean,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I think it should be. It should have the sorry,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: it has the potential to be a pretty good series.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: And as a baseball fan, I'm hoping it's a five gamer,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: like I hope for all of them to go the distance.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: How tough is that to face a team like the
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Blue Jays. We were talking about Cam Schlitzler and how
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: he was getting a lot of swings and misses from
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: a team who swings and misses. How tough is that
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: to say? Let's say you go back to back series,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: you go Yankees. You're coming in in the ninth inning
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: against the Yankees two out of three games. Bang, We're
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: go on top of the zone, curveball down, they swing
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: and miss a lot. Now you go and face the
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Blue Jays. I know you have to be you, but
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: they're going to put the ball in play, And to me,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: there's more fear of your late life heat at the
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: top of the zone getting hitted out of the ballpark.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: How do you change or do you not change? And
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: you just hope, you know what, I can still punch
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: guys out and you have success that way.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Right, I mean I think you always go you always
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: go strength on strength, right, Like, I'm not gonna necessarily
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: shy away from what I'm good at. Because the lineup
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: you know, has guys that are that are higher contact.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Does it affect like where you're going to go? Yes,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: But I also think you know, and teams like that
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: that are high contact gives you the potential for quick outs.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Right if you're you know, you're maintaining your ability to
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: throw any pitch in any count, right and you know
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: that they're going to be swinging. Yeah, you run the
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: risk of you know, getting victimized early. But you also,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: you know, have the positive of being able to, you know,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: get that second pitch double playball or you know, your
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: first pitch in field pop up. Whereas you know, the
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: guys that do you know, the lineups that have more
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: swing and miss but also have more juice, you know,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: you run the risk of eventually leaving something over the
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: heart as you know, the back progresses. If they're able
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: to you know, lay off a couple, you get to
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: two strikes, have a good take against you, et cetera.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: You know they present they're obviously different challenges, but they're
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: also you know, advantages to facing both as a pitcher.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: I just said in the last series by Judge that
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: when you see a closer multiple times within a short span,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: it's a lot easier because you're not you're seeing the
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: same stuff back to back nights or you know, a
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: night off. And then again, do you see that as
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: an advantage for teams? And do you think teams think about, hey,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: you know what, maybe we don't bring the closer in
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: in a three run game because he just threw. We
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: feel like we have a guy that can shut the
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: door and now of a sudden he's available for back
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: to backs later on in the series without letting the
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: hitters see you as a.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Closer, right, I mean, I think you kind of got
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: to stick to your guns. Right, if you're you're in
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: the safe situation, right, you're in the leverage ball, you're
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: gonna throw your guys. That's you know, just how you
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: know what the game is progressed to. I mean, obviously,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: you know, in a seven gamer you might not be
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: throwing the three in a row potentially, but given that
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: we have a much different like it's the two three
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: two right, you you can throw every game once you
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: get to it. But yeah, I mean it's that's why
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: we started taking starters out early, right, is the more
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: you see somebody, the more familiar you're familiar you are,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: the better off you're gonna be at kind of seeing
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: what the scouting report doesn't tell you, right, if you
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: you know, you got a guy that's you know, let's say,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: got a little extra run but doesn't sink as much
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: that first time. You know, seeing it on paper versus
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: seeing it in the box is probably two different things.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Obviously not a hitter, but that's my best guess. So
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: the more that you see okay, well this guy it's
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: a sinker, right, but it runs more than it does sink,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: you're able to then adjust to that quicker, you know,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: as you're seeing him either in batch back days or
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: you know, throughout the course of a start against a lineup.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: I want to talk a little about relievers coming in,
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: closers coming in as you know you're a closer, like
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: was it is it kind of refreshing to see a
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: guy go eight innings and you know, maybe give you
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: guys a little leeway of understanding.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: You know you're gonna if you.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: Were on that team, you would be the guy known
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: all right, well, I know him coming in the ninth.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: It kind of gives me a breath of fresh air
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: a little bit. This is like an anomaly right now.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Eight innings for a starter. I thought that was pretty incredible.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Uh, I loved it. I saw I hadn't been watching that.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I was watching the Thursday night football game last night.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I saw that. I think Schlitler was at one hundred
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: after seven and you know, shout out to to letting
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: them go back out there for the eighth. I loved it.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, obviously that's the time to do it, right,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: if you got a guy that's shoving like he was,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I think what he had five hits, no walks over eight.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's pretty good. I think you you know,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: you run the guy out there, you know, like they
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: did with Crochet in the first like you do with
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: the Scubol type in the in the Tiger's Guard series.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: So you know, I think if you're able, if you're
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: gonna let your guy ride and let him ride and
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: he does this thing, it definitely makes it, you know,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: easier on the back end where you're like all right, Well,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: there's no mixing to match and we're going one pitch
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: and change and we're taking it home. No doubt. We
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: were talking a lot.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: I asked this question to Rob Freeman about the ABS system.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: H what are your what are your thoughts on it?
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: Do you think this is going to be pretty good?
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: Are you big on robo wumps? Talk a little about
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: you know, you don't have to dive deep into it,
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: but are you excited about this next year?
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: I think it'll I think some we have some hitters
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: that are pretty excited just talking to guys in the clubhouse.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think hopefully it acts like it's supposed
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: to write where you lose the calls that are a
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: ball off, right, if you got something that you know
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: early in the game you only got two of them,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: you don't want to burn one, you know. I don't
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: think they're going to be as aggressive around the edges,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: But I think the bad misses in which you know,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: you get the weird thing to you know, stifle to
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: sneeze when he's trying to call a pitch and blanks
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: on one, or you know, Catcher's moving as he's trying
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: to throw somebody out. You know, I think we're gonna
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: get be able to get those back either way, and
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I think that'll be a pretty big positive. But you know,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: I think along the edges at least early, I don't
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: think it's going to be super different because I don't
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: think people are going to want to mess with you know,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: it's my you know, my eight hole. Maybe not the
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: best decision maker doesn't like to call. I don't think that,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: you know, as a unit, right as a team, they're
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: going to want to burn that challenge early. So I mean,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: maybe it maybe maybe they do. Maybe everybody's got some
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: leeway to try and figure out, you know, who our best,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: our best zone disciplined guys are. But I think hopefully
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: it takes away the misses over the plate and way off.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Are you going to do this one time next year?
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Do you have the visual and the ability as a pitcher.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: I wanted to real bad this year on one because
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: it ended up costing me. It ended up costing me
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: a game. So maybe I don't know, maybe they might,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: they might put the handcuffs on me and not let
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: me do anything too crazy. But I had to get
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: I had to get some out of the way when
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: we were playing and I think it was we were
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: playing in clear Water this spring and I was I
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: was tapping my head. Actually that game that felt like
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: it felt like there were probably twenty challenges and they
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: probably went nineteen for twenty on the player side of it.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: So which one do you remember? What I mean, you
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: obviously remember which one which.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: I know exactly, Which I know exactly which one as
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: a heater two as one of the Guardians lefties. It
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: was a striking him out, throw him out that got
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: taken away because he bawled it even though it was
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: on It was like midside, right on the inside corner
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: ball first and second instead of two hours.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and he was out at second to good throw.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: And yeah he would great throw from forty He was
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: out by like four feet.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: This is where this is where the abs not. Everyone's like, oh,
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: it's only one pitch. One pitch doesn't swing a game.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Swung at least at least contributed at least contributed to it. So, yeah,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: now that I'm now that I'm free from the season,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I can I don't know who I'm not gonna, I
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: can't get anything. I'm not going anymore. I just know
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: that that one was that one rankled me a little bit.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: We're past it now, got all my got everything out
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: in the open. We're past it.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: That's great.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: My question to you talk about stein brunerfield Man, talking about,
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: you know, home heavy schedule, talk a little about playing there.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: Was it all you expected how the Yankees did for you?
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: It was the clubhouse great, everything was it just was
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: it was it that bad being you know, not a major.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: League for the whole year. Underneath, I mean, I know
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: they just did a bigger innovation underneath was unbelievable. The
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: locker room, food, everything super super nice, very weight room.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: This is probably the most tired I've ever been after
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: a season. And I don't want to say that there's
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: a direct correlation between playing eighty one games outside in
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Florida versus playing eighty one games inside in Florida, but
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: I think just being out there every day in that
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: it wears on you a little bit.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: I would agree, Yeah, yeah, Florida. I'm in Florida right now,
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: and it's hot, sweating, like sweating like Francisco Servilia a
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: drug test. But if if we have to go back
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: to part of the season, if we have to go
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: back to part of the season. I want to go
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: back to something that I think you cleared the air
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: on the whole blowing the kiss. My favorite part of
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: the comment. The favorite part of the comment was a
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Lego loving group over there. I have no disrespect to them.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Can you elaborate and just continue to clear the air,
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: because not everyway from FT is a Rais or Orioles
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: fan and saw exactly what happened in the moment when
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: you were accused of blowing a kiss at the dugout,
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: but it was at a fan.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: It's my favorite. It's my favorite thing about the Internet
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: is that you can turn it into whatever you want
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: it to be, regardless of the actual context of any situation. Yeah,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: there was some cat that some cat would just kept
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: on like game's over right, we're shaking hands, just still
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: blowing me up because I who was it was a
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: pisalloh Bisallo, their super prospect. I hit him in the hand.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: I'm like, fop, Sorry, I cursed right there after talking
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: about not cursing with Schlitler. But so this guy was
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: just MF and me after like well after the game,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: and I'm like haying it and kept on doing it.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: So I blew the kiss and they thankfully there was
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: no bad blood on either any of the you know,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: fifty two or I guess fifty six and that that
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: were that were out there. But yeah, probably, you know,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I can get a little I can get going in
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: the heat of the moment a little bit. But yeah,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I was. I thought I thought I came with a
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: pretty good pr statement afterwards, which was I thought, I
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: thought the description of said guy that was chirping me
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: was probably helpful in that dark.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Yes it was, Yes, it was. I forget exactly what
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: you what the words that were that you said. Was
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: he wearing a starter jacket? Is that part of the
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: thing that you had said?
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he had like one of the old like an
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: old dugout jackets. So yeah, yeah, I was a big fan. Yeah,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: it would have been great if I was a great
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: suspect reporting on my part, I'd like to pat myself
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: on the back.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Hey, you got the brand down the whole thing question
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: for you also about to at the end of the season,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: did you unveil a new pitch?
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Uh? Yeah, so just decided to start throwing a little
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: little rifle slider just for fun. I'm I'm good at
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: getting on the outside of the ball, and you know,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: I was able to kind of figure out that happy
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: medium between the big breaker and the four seam and
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: felt like it was a good time to break it out.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: How does that work when we get to this late
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: in the season, usually we see this morning spring training?
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Can you take me through the evolution at you've been
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: working on this in the past. Was it something you
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: work on during the season for pitchers to know, right,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: for any aspiring pitcher to know, and also to be like, wow,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: maybe I can't do that like a big league or
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: how did this happen?
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Uh? So, I'll whenever i'm throwing my if I don't
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: get up and warm up, don't go in or I throw,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: I won't throw off the mound. And when I'm down
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: for a little bit, you know, I'll mess around. I'm
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: not mess around, well, I guess kind of mess around.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I've always like I used to it. It's similar to
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: the braining ball I used to throw kind of before
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: I started trying to get more and more depth on it,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: try and get you know, that finger to the front.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: And so whenever I'm throwing with with snides and Charlie
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: pre game, I would I'll mess around with you know,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: maybe trying to run one little two C match and
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: you know, I'll try and throw a true cutter. I'll
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: throw a bigger breaking ball just for me. I think
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: it's good to figure out how to make the ball
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: do certain things, even if that's not what you do,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: just as a as appropriate option kind of trick for myself.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: And eventually was talking to Size. I was like, I'm
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: gonna throw this rifle slider in game. I think it
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: will be good. And then yeah, through it it was
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: I think I was throwing some and then the bullpen
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: pregame that were like five and four armside for me,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: and you know those are that's a kind of where
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: you want to be if you're throwing a rifle slider
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: that's somewhere between five and seven off the heater, and
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: you know, it turns out I can throw it fairly
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: consistently and decided to run with it.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: How many times have you thrown three days in a
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: row in the season?
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: I twice, I think not many.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Do you think it's too much expected of these teams
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: that just went through And you said it earlier, you said, okay,
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: all these guys everybody can throw day in and day out.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Is it too much to expect a lot of some
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: of these guys who have already gone three days in
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: a row on the Tigers, on the Cubs like that,
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: are not used to it, and you are an All
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Star closer who never did it.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Look, I think postseason, everybody's more willing to do stuff
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: like that. Do I think I think like regular three
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: in a rows like throughout the regular season probably beat
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: you down about as much as any workload thing throughout
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: the year. However, I think if people are saying they're
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: good and they're willing to do it, and it's you
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: got stuff that's on the line like you do in
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: the postseason, I mean that's I think that's part for
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: the course. I think the Amelia opened down, I think
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: through four in a row getting the Reds to the postseason.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: So you know, I think you're more willing to put
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: your body through stuff when you see it at the end.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Right if it's if you got to throw a three
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: in a row to you know, put your boys into
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: the next round, I think everybody in a bullpen is
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: going to do that.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Pete last one for you. There's a club option for
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. We might not talk to you for
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: a little bit because it's the off season. Any thoughts, indications,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: conversations yet at the team and is there even if
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: you don't have that for us, I'm sure there's some
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: type of deadline right where the team has to let
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: you know what's going on. And I mean, I think
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: they'd be silly if they're not taking that. But that's
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: just me. What what's the deal with your status?
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: I had actually met with my agent today earlier, went
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: and got a burger at my favorite Saint Louis dive,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Carls Drive In. It's probably my favorite murder in America,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: just putting that out in the world for whenever people
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: are in Saint Louis. Yeah, we had, we had to talk.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think you know, we've still got a
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: lot of stuff up in the air, right, that's that's
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: a month of playoffs, plus you got your your five
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: days afterwards, so we'll see how it also shakes out.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: And I guess we'll know if I got to put
• 18:47
